Richard Edelman heading to Australia as speaker for World Public Relations Forum 2012

President and CEO of the world's largest independent public relations firm, Richard Edelman, will address the WPRF this November.

Convened every two years by the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management the WPRF will be hosted by the Public Relations Institute of Australia for the first time this year.

The event sees the world’s leading communicators come together to present and explore new practice methods, research and ideas in the field of professional communication.

The WPRF runs from 18 - 20 November.

“Our theme—Communication without borders—reflects the global nature of the World Public Relations Forum, and of communication today,” said Global Alliance Chair Daniel Tisch.

“Communication is transforming global society, and the Forum is an opportunity to break down barriers, enhance intercultural understanding, and consider how to enhance our profession’s contributions to our organisations—and to our world.”
